Booker T On Joe Hendry: He’s Not The Best Wrestler, But He Gets It
Booker T comments on Joe Hendry’s star power.
Joe Hendry is a key figure in the WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling partnership. Hendry has main-evented WWE NXT shows and even wrestled at WrestleMania. Now, he’s a regular on NXT Tuesday nights. He is a major star today, but how would he have performed during the peak of wrestling in the 2000s, the Attitude Era?
Booker T, one of the legends of the 2000s and a man who has wrestled in WWE and TNA himself, is now answering that very question from his perspective during a recent interview with Esports Insider.
“I really do. Joe Hendry, he’s an entertainer. He is a performer,” said Booker. “He is not the greatest wrestler in the world or anything like that. But that’s not what wrestling is, and I think so many people have gotten caught up in going out and having a five-star match. They have forgotten about what the art of professional wrestling is, and that’s making fans believe and feel a certain way. The biggest era I always thought was the Attitude Era, and the reason why, it was because of the fan participation.
“The fans wanted to be involved. They had their chance; they came with the signs. We had more signs in the building back then than you can imagine. It’s because of the fans. We let the fans be a part of the show, and I think that’s something a guy like Joe Hendry does very well, and a guy like Trick Williams also.”
